Can I use Homebrew on Ubuntu?

Question

I just tried to use Homebrew and Linuxbrew to install packages on my Ubuntu Server but both failed. This is how I tried to install them:

sudo apt-get install bui         


        

Answer 1

The following steps worked for me:

• Clone it from github

  git clone https://github.com/Homebrew/linuxbrew.git ~/.linuxbrew
  

• Open your .bash_profile file using vi ~/.bash_profile

• Add these lines

  export PATH="$HOME/.linuxbrew/bin:$PATH"
  export MANPATH="$HOME/.linuxbrew/share/man:$MANPATH"
  export INFOPATH="$HOME/.linuxbrew/share/info:$INFOPATH"
  

• Then type the following lines in your terminal

  export PATH=$HOME/.linuxbrew/bin:$PATH
  hash -r
  

Yes, it is done. Type brew in your terminal to check its existence.
